White Rake long barrow and bowl barrow is a Neolithic and Bronze Age funerary monument located in Derbyshire. The site comprises two distinct burial structures: a long barrow of Neolithic date and an associated bowl barrow of Bronze Age origin, representing successive phases of use across several millennia. The long barrow exemplifies early agricultural communities' monumental burial practices, whilst the bowl barrow demonstrates the continuation of barrow construction traditions into the later Bronze Age. Together, these monuments provide evidence of long-term ritual activity and landscape use in the Peak District region during prehistoric periods.
